We have rather brash vendors who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements promoted for Rainhill conveyancing transactions?
There are two primary concerns with executing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Rainhill conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is very unlikely to be granted injunctive relief to bar the seller completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in limited situations, the additional payment of damages.

After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a required component of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand before the property is placed on the market.

Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Rainhill will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or need the permission of another owner. Some additions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
